“It’s purely a listing site and I’m offering a 6 Month Free Listing with No Credit Card Needed,” said Riedel. “There’s a group of us creating pure listing sites and giving the homeowners back their power. We don’t need our hard work and assets being taken over by huge online corporations that are trying to control how we conduct our businesses. And we certainly don’t need our guests being gouged when they book.”

Virginia Vacation Rentals (www.vavacationrentals.com) was officially launched less than a month ago and it has already gotten Vacation Rental Homeowners listing.

“We have homes for every budget, from luxury to simple comforts,” said Riedel. “It’s a very exciting time to step into this market and help people step away from Expedia, Trip Advisor and AirBnB. Our promise is to treat the homeowners and guests right by bringing them together.”
